Instead of wasting the hair, I decided to donate it to people who would be glad to use it. I have seen how cancer can wreak havoc on the lives of it’s victims. However, I also know that with a little bit of boost to their morale, lot of these people especially women will feel a thousand times better and what better way than to give them a full head of hair. Please accept my humble donation as a token of appreciation to everything you do to make these people’s lives better every day. Shwetha Gopalan
